This does come up from time to time and to a certain extent depends on the printer.
Edit: Not paying attention, you are opening a PDF in Gimp, That is OK but depending on the quality required increase the resolution from 100 pixels-per-inch (ppi) to 300 ppi. then it is ;-
(Make a new US Letter size (8.5" x11") and ) when printed it is scaled to fit between margins. Most printers have a set margin, a laser printer often 1/8" all round, inkjet might have a larger bottom margin for sheet feeding. Look at your printer specs. Full size page will either truncate or scale down to fit.
Obviously depends on the label contents but crop the label image down to say 8" x 10" and it should fit between the margins. example settings https://i.imgur.com/Gb6iyYZ.jpg
Note: For Windows Gimp printing is not so good. If you use the default black/grey themes part of the print dialogue is missing. This with system theme: https://i.imgur.com/4faD2ho.jpg
Another way Make your label image in Gimp but print in some other program. LibreOffice for example.
